Getting closer.

Let me post it on this page:

Looking for what the middle tool is.

Does it have something to do creating the end of tubing such as a flange or crimping something onto the end of a tube? What about creating a flared end?

Uhm, i have never seen one, but can try to imagine ..... in this position, if you place a tube in the hook and pull the handler, it act like a screwing / unscrewing tool, but this does not seem its main function (they have usually variable or conical holders, for take different sizes, where this one looks having a single size) ..... for the counterpart, if i shift the hook in the other position before place a tube in it, then "roll back" the handler, that black thorn on the side can be pushed on the side of the tube ..... in one sense, it can "punch" through it, in the other sense, it can make a circular "wall" track around it (i mean, like the tracks in where you place o-rings for joint two different sizes tubes) ..... in this case, the other tool may be used placing it inside the tube for avoid to deformate it ..... the hex key seem there only for unhook the black thorn (if the black cylinder in front is a hex setscrew) ..... can't imagine other, for now, sorry.

Good morning everybody. Looks like there are no correct guesses. Do you give up? Want me to tell and post a different item? I'm not sure how this works or if there's a time limit. I don't want to hold up the game.

If no one is getting even close, then good chance nobody will get it ;)

HIMNL9, I'm not sure what the ball is made of, but is it some kind of toy where the ball floats on a stream of air? I can see something resembling a hole under it.

It is a Berdan Depriming Tool. This method of priming brass cartridges was developed in the US but adopted as a European standard. The Boxer priming method was developed in Europe but adopted in the US because of its ease of repriming. YouTube video below.



Hemlock_Mike was closest. His turn since I'll be AFK most of the day.

No, sorry.

The ball is hardened steel gold plaqued, approximatively 10mm dia, and the dark cylinder under it, it's a magnet.

Naah ..... come on, it's easy ..... as help, just look as how it's built ..... a relatively heavy gold-plated steel sphere, kept in equilibrium on a pair of gold-plated stands only from a magnet ..... does really not suggest you anything ? ;)

I will help also more, the keyword is "equilibrium" (and now i have practically said you for what it's used :p)

Correct !

It's a configuration that is still used in high resistance applications, instead of the new piezo sensors ..... the mass of the sphere have enough inertia for reveal also light bumps and shocks (loosing the contact with the stands), and at the same time, it will resist mounted on machines that may suffer very heavy shocks without become damaged, opposite to modern sensors.
